I have heard from my tire person at Discount Tire and from other diesel owners that Duratracs only have a 2-ply sidewall, even though they are E rated. This leads to after tire wear and from sidewall flex. Never owned a set myself, but when my tire shop talks me out of a tire they have in stock, I tend to believe them. If it had been a special order tire, I might have been more skeptical.

There are only a few tires out there that have 3 ply sidewalls. Toyo mt's and bfg mud and a/t's. Unless you are rock crawling or going through lava rock fields u dont need 3 ply sidewalls. Especially on a diesel...not the best off road vehicle in my experience.

Actually, most of the E rated all-terrain and mud-terrain tires have 3-ply sidewalls. I know my Trail Grapps do and the Cooper ST MAXX tires I was looking at did, too...so do the Terra Grapps and a lot more. While the Duratracs are E rated and aggressive, they only offer a 2-ply sidewall.

Haha are 44" boggers man enough for you? Diesels dont make very good mud trucks due to theyre weight.. And i dont know about u but i got a lil too much money into my truck to beat it through a mud pit.. But my mud truck has "manly" tires on it.. Not as manly as my last one that had 56" tractor tires..
